Thanks my confusion has not last that long. I just was puzzling why isql
does connect but Pharo won't. Sure the reason is clear, but it has
catched me. Fine, I'm trying to get unixodbc compiled an installed on my
64 bit box. I just wonder has anyone build a 64-bit Pharo?

More or less. Because you need: a 64 bits VM, and a 64 bits image as much as I understand.
In addition, there are certain bugs in FFI about using it in 64 bits.
